17 String Bass...

[binky_bass]

100% chance this thing is 100% unplayable in every single way!

It does however slice cheese beautifully.

You should see that fella’s left hand though - dude looks like a fiddler crab.

[jezzaboy]

But is it any good for metal?

 

Coat gotten....

[therealting]

That’s at least 3 too many

There’s a whole story about this bass. The guy pictured with it here sold it to a famous YouTuber (a guitarist), and it was a dead-duck, a pile of poop it seems, so there’s a vid of the guy trashing it lol:

So he had this built by someone proper (reveal at about 1:50):

Who is Hugh Tube?

Is he not related to Hugh Jass?

Jared Dines is quite entertaining, his "things bass players say in the studio" video is a little too well observed 😀

I had a strong urge to stick that 18 string up where the sun don't shine...my baaaaad!

A friend of mine could play this...no matter what you gave him he only used the E and A - sometimes only the E.

He'd have to find the E string in that maze of strings first.
